Important Safety Instructions

Always follow these basic safety precautions when using your Digital Photo Frame (PDF). This will reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury.

Caution: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazards, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
Do not remove the cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

• Keep the remote control out of the reach of children. Button batteries pose a serious hazard to children.
